Yes, there are probably about 8 in Massachusetts that can themselves professional sharpeners. I started my business about five years ago to help pay my road expenses since I've been a manufacturer's rep. in the textile industry for over 30 years and the economy started to go south. Anways, this small business of my has really blossomed with the addition of an online store over the past 5 years. Besides the quilting shops, my accounts range from the drapery workrooms, sailmakers, tailors, chefs, upholsterers, awnings fabricators to podiatrists. I enjoy working with the quilting industry because the majority of the small shop owners truly enjoy what they doing. When you stop and think about it, the majority of these businesses are the end result of hobby.
